People that have been around Dart long enough absolutely felt hard done by. That project burned so much community good will on the way to finally getting slight traction with Flutter.



I’m actively a part of that community for the past 5 years and I have zero idea what you’re talking about. It’s one of the most loved languages out there when you look at surveys of its users and for good reason.


5 years is not a long time in Dart. It first appeared in 2011.


Half a decade is more than enough time for me to be able to say with a really high degree of confidence and authority that I’m positive that the situation with Google and Dart is in fact not at all like the situation with Apple and Swift as the OP was implying.
